hair/makeup, art, boutique. what more could a gal ask for? :)

I have never been treated with such understanding until I met Kelly. She really took the time to understand the haircut and color I wanted and also made it so much better than I could have imagined. I have never had a stylist do that..they usually always acted like the got me but never did..Kelly wasn't afraid to ask me questions before she just went ahead and she made me feel so comfortable..

So Vain and Kelly have made me believe that amazing hair does exist if you find someone that gets it..and Kelly gets it.So do yourself a favor and get your hair done by Kelly..SHE IS AMAZING..KELLY!!!THANK YOU..

The staff lady was so nice when I called to make an appointment. I told her I've never been to Vain before and I'm asian with curly long hair. She immediately recommended me to several hair stylist that would do good on what I want. I decided to go with Alexis to have the hair cut. For sure she was amazing. First, she shampoo my hair with something that smells fantastic and minty, and then gave me a head and neck message. I was totally relax afterward. Then she gave me the great hair cut that I wanted!!!! Like I said I'm asian with with long curly hair and lots of it!! She work on my hair in detail for a long time. Cutting my hair is not easy, having it to look good is even harder. Anyways I love the hair cut and Good Job! I will be back again and recommend this hair salon and Alexis to my friends!!

We recently moved to Seattle and have been trying a number of different hair stylists around town. Both my fiance and I have settled on Vain and more specifically Sam.
First of all, the space they use is really interesting. Sam was telling me last time that it was one of the original Nirvana gig spaces or something and the building obviously has a lot of history.
The front staff is really helpful and they always have good music playing. I would say that they should have a little better selection of non-style magazines for men but that is just a really picky small thing.
We both have been really happy with Sam, she is very easy to talk to and does a great job. In my opinion, stylists are a dime a dozen and Sam really stands out of the norm.
Their prices just went up a little recently but it is still very reasonable.

great salon
